I've searched for forums and found most answers for iwl3945 but not iwl4965. Although I DID try to solution for 3945 to no avail. I've uninstalled the iwl4965 driver through spoonDRV as well as modprobe -r iwl4965, Try installed the raw driver, but that didn't work either. I tried to go ahead even with this error, although once I get to the ARP, I get no ARP's, even when I connect another computer to my router and download a large GB file through wireless. Here's a little bit of data from my session.

--- Loading the ipwraw didn't seem to load the driver.
Any suggestions. Is my wireless card supported or should I be buying a new card for this laptop to do this? Let me know anything else to try. Thanks!

Didn't change the mac address, instead just went ahead with detecting. This went fine until I got to the part of collecting ARP's. I could not get any ARP's. Even with downloading a large GB file with another computer over wireless, and leaving it run for a few hours. Any suggestions?

I know this is a bit of an old thread, but I am getting the same error here. this is what i get after i type in the command airmon-ng start wlan0

Interface Chipset Driver

wlan0 Intel 3945 a/b/g iwl3945 - [phy0]

Error: Neither the sysfs interface links nor the iw command is available
Please download and install iw from |-|ttp://dl.aircrack-ng.org/iw.tar.bz2

So, I go there on my other computer and download the file, extract the .RAR file, copy the files to my flash drive, then insert my flash drive to the laptop and then I don't attempt to run the airmon-ng start wlan0 command but still i get the same thing.

Yes, I'm a Linux nub :redface:.

I'm not quite sure what to do with these files. Am I supposed to extract the BT3 files from the ISO, place these files I downloaded into a particular directory, then recreate the ISO, burn the ISO, and then try again? Or is there another way? Or does that error I get tell me that i'm just SOL on this working and I need to get a USB WiFi adapter or something?
